THE FINISHED SHABBY CHIC DESK
This is the update on the desk project- chalk painted, sanded waxed and buffed! The hadware is back on and now it is ready for it’s new life as a PC desk. Well change of plans… during the time she was working on this- her job ran out- so the desk will be a vanity in her room here afterall. She got a nice mirror and some accessories to go with it. So her old bedroom here is now her “new” bedroom! Go to my Facebook page to see more of the things we have added to her room! More chalk paint too!

This is the finished shabby chic desk with the original hardware (circa 1948)

Finished desk in her room

This is the stamp we found underneath the drawer “Union Made Nov. 24, 1948, Allentown, PA. Pretty cool

Sanding of the chalk paint. (The beginning of this project is in the previous post).

Applying the paste wax. Let it dry and then buff it out with a cloth for a smooth finish.

A side view of the sanding. (really a side view- I can’t rotate the pictures on here- sorry!)
